which country in the world have the best voting system?

Best Voting system. In 2014 election the B.J.P win the election with 31% of vote means that 69% of people in the country do not want that B.J.P make their government so what logic in this. On the other hand in presidential election of U.S Hillary Clinton get 3 million more vote than Donald Trump but Donald Trump become the President of U.S so what democracy are in this if majority of people vote in against to a candidate and he become a leader of a country. So friends today we understand how the voting system work in different democracy in the world and after read this article you think that which is the best voting system in the world so let's start. 



To understand Indian voting system we take an example if 4 people stand in election Mr A,Mr B,Mr C and Mr D so if Mr A get 35%, Mr B get 39%, Mr C get 16% and Mr D get 15% of vote. So in our country the candidate which get maximum number of vote win the election so in this example Mr B get maximum number of vote so he win the election. This type of voting system is called first-past-the-post voting system. This first past the fourth voting system used in different type of 58 democratic countries in the world. But some clearly seen disadvantage are in this voting system if we seen in our example that the voters of Mr D hate Mr A and they not want that Mr A win so they vote to Mr B because media always talk about Mr A and Mr B and everyone know that one of them win the election. So which type of democracy is this. So in this Mr D only working as the vote cutter for Mr A. 

 So to counter this disadvantages a new voting system come instant cut-off voting system. In this voting system people do not select a single candidate they arrange all the candidate according to their preference. In this voting system every Candidate should get 50% of vote if in first preference no one get the 50% vote so the candidate which get the less number of vote get eliminated and the vote of the eliminated candidate transferred to the the rest of the candidate. In this voting system many of the disadvantages of first past the post voting system get eliminated. This voting system are used in many countries of world and in India the presidential election are also done by this voting system. In different countries this was done in different manner example in Sri Lanka you can select only 3 candidates as  first,second and third preference this is called contingent voting. Interestingly Oscar winner also selected by instant cut-off voting system. 

Many people say that in above example if Mr D get 15% of votes so 15% of seats are goes to the party of Mr D this type of voting system is called proportional representation. More than 80 democratic countries in world use this voting system.Belgium is the first country in the world who use this system in the general election of 1900s. This type of voting system has different ways to implementation example some countries like Israel and Netherland all the country is one constituency the country is not divided into to many constituency and peoples give vote to their favourite party then all parties get seats according to their voting percent this is called pure-proportional representation. But this is not right to say that proportional representation do not have any disadvantages people who criticize proportional representation say that because of this system connection break between the local leader. Peoples also say that in this voting system it is is difficult to a party to get majority seats which result the formation of coalition government and many people say that coalition government are not stable. Maybe this is the reason behind that in Germany a mixture of first past the post voting system and proportional representation are used for election by which the advantages of both system are become balance.


Many presidential countries in the world like France and South American countries use different kind of voting system called Two rounds voting system. In this voting system there are two round of voting if in first round no one gets majority so a second round take place in which only top two parties are seen. The disadvantages of this voting system are  the same as the first past the post voting system. In this voting system small parties do not get a chance to become a  big party. There are many more such voting system in the world example in Greece there are rule that the party which get a majority get 50 more sets in parliament only because they have majority.
